UPDATE:We have our winners! There were so many fab entries, we hated to have to choose and perhaps break someone's heart a little : (

So instead of just 3 winners, we chose these 4:

We'd like to give a special shout out to Spiralmg for going the extra mile and making us this video.

Many thanks, hugs & kisses to all who entered!

Dear Oliebabble Readers & Oliebollen.com Fans:

You know we love you dearly. You visit, you call, you shop, you send us photos of the kids. How could we not totally love you?

But what we're not so sure about is how much you love us! We're just insecure that way and need a little reassurance now and then.

So this Valentines Day maybe you could send us a little note in this blog post's comments section to let us know why and/or how much you love us? We'll choose our 3 most favorites and send each of the three writers a token of our love (in the form of a $25 Oliebollen.com gift certificate). Be sure to include your e-mail address, so we know how to contact you to award your prize. Comments must be submitted by 2/14/09 to be eligible.

A Free V-Day Gift for You!As self-involved as we are here at Oliebollen.com, we do realize that Valentines Day is not all about us. It's about expressing love. So to help you express yours, our resident artist, the fab Deb Pilutti has created some printable V-Day cards. And they are totally free. Just click here to get em! And while you're at it why not pick up a gift for someone special. Here are some fun ideas!

happy happy valentine's - I LOVE downloadable goodies, and those are so cool. I love shopping with Oliebollen.com because 1) they consistently offer funky stuff for boys AND girls and 2) if you have a question, it is answered (email or phone) by a real (nice) person! Thank you and keep up the good work!!

Happy Valentine's Day, a little early! I am such a fan of Oliebollen.com and hope that the CPSIA law is not affecting you too adversely. thank you for the valentines - my 5 y.o. will love coloring them!

aaah. What can I say about Oliebollen? It is the only online kids store I use and use it I do. So much so that my husband has actually asked, "What is w/you and that Oliebollen!" On the final nights before Christmas he would often catch me there--finding the perfect toy, book, art supply or cozy hat. And we've rarely missed a warehouse sale trekking from our home over an hour a way to stand in line w/ the Ann Arbor Mamas (and a couple brave Poppas too.)

So why do I love Olie--the creative toys (scratching boombox) , the amazing art supplies, (beeswax crayons, paper-making kit) fun books (Mommy?), and of course the unusual clothes for boys and girls. It is one-stop shopping for my daughter, nieces, nephews, shower and b'day gifts. The online sales are wonderful and the customer service is exemplary.

For a little while I thought I'd keep it my secret, but that lasted about a minute. As the funny priest I used to work with said,

Cool kids need cool stuff- and that's the stuff Oliebollen is made of! I'm not a fan of "cute-sy" and I'm all "pastel-ed" out... Oliebollen offers such an awesome collection of hip and wonderful items. I'm off to "shop" right now!!!! We love Oliebollen!

I love that Oliebollen remembers that life is about having fun! The selection of toys, books, accessories, and clothing make it possible to find something unique for anyone on your list for any occasion. Keeping with the fun factor, how about the crazy holiday giveaways? I was spreading the word to friends and family everywhere - and they all purchased at least one more gift to place under the tree! Thanks for the Valentines, and thanks for keeping things fun in cyberspace and at home with the things we find on your site!

Whenever I think of OliebollenIt makes my mind just start a-rollin' –I make my way across the floorTo sit in front of my keyboard.I love the way it feels so rightTo look at the Oliebollen site all night.The color, the cuts, the fabric, the clothes –I just want to know who it is that knowsHow to pick all the things that look so fineI just wish that more of them could be mine...But whenever I think of Oliebollen,I remember that both my kids are growin'And that's a good reason to go onlineTo the very best site that you can find.

Sending my love on Valentines Day! Your site enabled me to see a (well dressed and intelligent) future for my precious son. He was extremely premature and it was the most difficult 68 days in four hospitals for us. I ordered outfits and toys that he will enjoy in the future and started thinking positively about his months and years to come. Thank you;)

Oliebollen, my valentine, you often come to mind,you're a terrific place to shop at, you're truly one of a kind,you're so lovely and so sweet, and as a great place to shop for hip toys, awesome clothes and cool kid stuff,My Oliebollen can't be beat!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for sharing the ADORABLE downloadable valentine's cards. What a fun, fast and economical way to approach v-day cards for the kids classmates. We happily bypassed the same ole' lame cartoon character cards for these beauties!

And...I don't want to miss this opportunity to give you props for your outstanding customer service. You, Oliebollen, are doing it right!
